yea in the schools most just ban the name if its something like action village or pb review they dont do anyting to block it but some of the web pages are blocked by criteria (Examples... Guns,Online auctions, Pornogropghy,Forums Ect...) but like pb nation will be blocked because of the Forum criteria but PB Review will not be blocked. But ive heard that someone made a search thing like google that doesnt go straight to the sight u view it when your on that same search engine so basically it cant block it because its just a search engine i dont know what it is yet but Ive heard that some one did that and saved a porno pic on all of the comps back rounds but i was like lmao when i heard it but i dont know what the search engine is ive been trying to look it up so i can like do this when im at the library.

you guys are all lucky...my school bans website that has fourms, game, or videos.... and anything with the word proxy in it is banned as well.. how depressing is that. and then...(there is always a way to get around it) any thing with a jpg format pic isnt able to be shown.. so any thing on google images, ebay, pbnation.. we cant see. they cant ban google video though, because it would ban everything with google itself. ive shown my science teacher some of my videos on google though and he thinks its awesome lol..every one else school wise is against paintball. or any thing that looks, or even has the shape of a gun for that matter. yet there allowed to show us r rated movies with people killing eachother in them. hmm..figure that out.

They ban JPG images? Your school's blocker sucks... jeez... our school uses 8e6, and as of recently most forums are blocked, along with anything with porn, games, or email. My favoriite, though, is that the ACLU website is blocked (at the end of the URL for the page that comes up when a site is blocked, it tells you the group its in - this one is under OPINION, which pisses me off) but the Fox News website is not.

I love how all you people say "slap the *****". Yeah, that'll help your cause a lot. Go to the principal and explain the situation if you want to at least attempt to be taken seriously. Otherwise, wait till you get home to go on paintball sites... I know it sucks, but you're probably not supposed to be using school computers for anything other than schoolwork anyway.

My school is actually kul with it!! they have helped us sponsor a school based team and helped us set up a highschool league for paintball tournaments!! Our principal will even come out and play with us some!! Its so tight!!

ha me and some friends were in the library and we were using the text to speech thing in the control pannel and we had the computers say stuff to the library lady she is like 80 so we typed in like f off your going to die soon, it was great

Ya i was in the library with my friends and they were playing games and i was looking at pb stuff librarian (who hates me from last year and would probably have me killed if she could) walks over and sees all my friends turns to me and was just like thats not work get out and starts giving me a speech so i just walked out all shes taking to me LOL. The next day I had to go see the assistant director or w.e and he told me she told him that i told her to **** off and **** I dunno was funny....ya thats my pb story at school.

my school banned from the comps for that (browsing pbn). they said theyed have to send my parents an email. and i said in a nassally voice, "oh god no, an email, y dont u just expell me" and then laughed at them. and my librarian has like a sexual fetish with the comps.

lol. this happened to me twice this year. theres this teacher(english) and hes very anti gun like whenever i talk to my friends about my hunting trips he gets mad at me so anyway i was on actionvillage at the end of class when i finished hw and he said i can go on the comp so i went on actionvillage and he walks over and says get off now thats innapropiate for school. he said that i shouldnt be looking at guns. i told him paintball "markers" arent guns and he started ignoring me for the rest of the week after that. and then a few weeks later on i went on a field trip to boston and i was on my sidekick's internet showing my friend a promaster that i was thinking about buying and he comes down the aisle and he stares at the screen and i shut it off and he asked was that guns 'cuz u know we're still technically in school and i said it was a paintball gun and he goes et me see and i said no the batteries dead and he got really mad at me and got me in trouble for standing up on the bus to stretch. lol. and dont say im spoiled or anything like that becuz i have a sidekick, i have to pay for it.

So, today I was in the library on the Nation. I was looking at pictures from an event as a librarian walks by. She looks at my screen and goes: "Now I know you're not doing school work! Turn that off! That's not allowed!" So, I quit the browser and start to get up as she yells "And were those guns? Those were guns! If those were guns I can send you to the office! Put that page back!" So, I have to go all the way back and she sees that it's a paintball site and says "Paintball!? Those are guns!" So, then I show her the picture and she says "Those are guns!" and she starts flipping out. Then I say "No, they're not guns. They are called markers. Guns use combustion to propel an object, markers don't." And she goes "What!? What did you say? Oh, my God." She flips out and starts like running around and stuff. Then she tells me to get up and get my stuff and she bans me from the library for the rest of the week. People are so ignorant.

I looked at guns on action village once and a substitute told me those were guns and they could kill people, so we couldn't look at them in school.

wow... you guys are seriously lucky. ever since some trollop went on her myspace account (and she has some "inappropriate" photos of herself) and the teacher walked by and saw them, we have had alot of stuff blocked. myspace and all the other things, every forum possible (alas no Nation for me), pornographic material (of course), online stores (blocking actionvillage really hit me hard since i had some important stuff to keep eyes on at the time) and then we had a friggin lecture about "online safety" (the only reason the headmaster had for holding the meeting was that we couldnt have the school's name in the myspace thing)

lol is nranews blocked? if it is...that sucks cant even listen about NEWS about guns now...

lol p8ntballtwin, i was showing our math teacher (male) ur 29 min long vid on google...nice work by the way.

whats funny is that most all of our teachers are frequent shooters, but the new vice-principal is scared to death of "assault rifles" (IMO b/c she watches CNN too much )
